Learning Journal #3

[Mary Chang]

To become more advanced in Korean, I believe it's essential for me to know about especially the vocabulary, grammar, syntax and semantic components. Without knowing them, I won't be able to use certain words in sentences correctly at the right time and I will also not be able to understand the true meaning of it in the context as Korean words have multiple meanings for the same word. To expand on Vocabulary, I will need to read and watch more advanced context so that I'm not just memorizing a list of words but truly understand how they are used in real life. In terms of grammar and syntax, I think referring to a grammar book would help because I'm not that familiar with the official rules of Korean grammar. Syntax part of this language will be acquired best if I keep exposing myself to resources that show how words are used differently in different contexts and how meanings change depending on the situations.
